The Racelight T forks made between 2003 and 2009 were subject to a recall after the death of a cyclist last August. A Coroner ruled this week that Jonathan Weatherley died from injuries sustained after his Kinesis forks separated under braking.

While Upgrade Bikes said it is doing its utmost to inform customers of the recall, it admits it is not easy for retailers to know where their products end up over a period of time.

Models affected

The forks can be recognised if they carry one of the four logos shown below on the side of the fork blade.

The recall has been extended to the 12K forks on the right

Affected forks have these features

If your fork is affected, Upgrade says that you should stop using it immediately and return it for a replacement, either via the retailer from whom the part was purchased or directly from Upgrade Bikes. Upgrade will supply a DC07 fork as a replacement.
